Would have been decent if Hemsworth wasn't in it..


Terrible acting on his part. Supporting acting was good enough, but Hemsworth blew it and was unable to show emotion at critical times.

I thought the same thing in terms of his acting . There would be times when he loses his New York accent and I would yell at my computer saying "You're character is from New York" and "change your facial expression" . He did lack emotion in a lot of the scenes. I think he needs to learn how to loosen up a little and let it flow. I think his only good performance was in hunger games. BUT DAMN HE IS EASY ON THE EYES!

Some note worthy bad performances :

Emma Roberts! She obviously wasn't in the movie much but the little time that she was there I couldn't bare her performance. She just seem off to me. I didn't see her has a New Yorker. The attitude wasn't there like many of the characters in the movie.

The Rock! Simply put it....this is not the fast and the furious! Stop with the tough exteriors, strong arm bull... Plus assuming that his character was also from new York... I didn't detect that.

I gave the movie a 5/10. The acting was off for some. The story generic yet still had my attention. That's it!

Agreed, he sucks as an actor but so did everyone else in the movie. Hilarious casting. Movie was *beep* horrible directing, bad cast, bad acting, story even if true I have to assume had a lot more to it then what we were shown, very unbelievable, no one just punches there way through a building roof in 2-5 minutes as shown in the film. This crap is destined to become an obscure DVD release no one watches.

But Seriously Your Opinion Is Wrong

Yeah, Hemsworth was really dull and Roberts and Johnson made just solid performances. But Michael Angarano was totally worth watching this movie, he did a great job and was definitely the star of it. It's a shame he didn't even make it on the poster/cover of the movie although he is the second lead character. Hopefully he will get more roles in bigger production, there is good potetial.

Agreed. But even if he was an Olivier or Brando, the film would still be tripe. It was all around bad.

Not even any "so bad it's good" moments. Just flat out bad. The director should be shot.

reply

He had a crappy New York accent. He isn't leading man material at all. Stick to supporting roles like in Hunger Games and Miley Cyrus' boyfriend.

reply

He's done. He's already been paired with Sylvester Stallone, Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford, now the Rock - and he had the nerve to say he was the best actor in his family - 2013's, William Baldwin.

reply

And he wasn't believable as a Greek American.

=The Rock is not that great of actor but he is was the best actor in this movie,Thank god Hemsworth has his looks because he would not have a career if he was not good looking

I think he is too Aussie to play an Italian. He just doesn't have it in him, emotionally, as you say. So I agree.
